With this one i wanted to stay true to the look of a real Senator. To include correct laser engraved graphics.
Huge thanks to Randy for getting this amazing project started, and also to Tom at Cortez Conversions!

OK after you hit upload , don`t hit insert also .  I think that`s how the double pic appear

       That is one sharp looking reel , but you got to use a lint free rag to clean it. >:D  >:D  :d

Really well done, Chris!

I need to build mine out.

My sideplates, frame & spool are all silver.

I wonder how the engraving would work on that?

Best, Fred

Wow! Great graphics. That one is worth double pictures. "We're gonna need a bigger boat!, but not a bigger reel!"

Incredible.  The tail plate graphics are spot on.  Keeping the original Penn graphics really makes that reel something special.  Bill

I keep going back to look at the pictures. I am finding hard to believe. This will become the center piece of of the 20/0's. I have no words.

Thanks Chris - Is that the first set of after market plates of any size with the Penn graphics engraved? Certainly the first set I've seen. Spectacular!

Fred you could probably get the engraving inlayed in black, gold, or any color.
Title: Re: Finally built my 20/0
Post by: foakes on May 05, 2022, 03:40:25 PM
That is a great idea, Rudy!

Already selected an engraving shop down in Clovis with the latest computer laser systems.  Took 16/0 plates to them to complete a pattern and proof.  I have both seen their work and talked to the guy in person.

Was between doing black, red, Penn green, or Penn blue —- but the gold is an idea that I had not considered.  Whatever color I choose for the inlay —- the crank knob & eccentric lever will match it.

Thanks!

Best, Fred

Time to put this project to bed. I delayed way too long. Finished up the black #15 the other day.
Again thanks to Randy for getting this project off the ground.
Also thanks to Tom at Cortez Conversions. The fit and finish of the plates were absolutely perfect. Couldn't have asked for better.

Beautiful!  If you have a pristine counterbalanced handle from a 118, see what that looks like on the model with the amber handle....just for fun.
